San Francisco, United States
Evolve California is a grassroots organization founded in 2011 with a mission to fully-fund public education in California. Through their non-partisan, 501c(4) nonprofit community organization, they aim to reform Proposition 13 and address the underfunding of public education in the state. Their approach prioritizes grassroots organizing and is entirely funded by individual donations from their 13,000 members spread across California.
The organization's strategy revolves around ground-up, grassroots organizing by focusing on issues that unite middle-class swing voters and the left-of-center base. Their belief in the impact of one-on-one conversations drives their emphasis on local organizing as the foundation of a larger grassroots network. By mobilizing communities across the state, they have successfully built a robust network that includes thousands of elected officials, community leaders, and activists throughout California.
Evolve's dedication to countering the influence of money in politics through long-term commitment and community engagement positions them as a valuable player in the movement for improved public education funding. While specific details on recent investments and investors are not available, the sheer scale of their grassroots network and the meaningful change they are striving for make Evolve California an organization to watch in the realm of educational reform and grassroots advocacy.
